bread

So last week has been a little hectic for me. I had to make super rushed trip back home to see my husband back home and as soon as I got there, we had to make a long roadtrip to Southern Central BC for a family reunion.

We love road trips. We do them often, and friends and family are always worth it. The only problem is that for a 12 hour road trip, we end up eating terribly. Along the way, it’s usually McDonalds, Tim Hortons or gas station snacks. So if we are going to be eating badly, we might as well make it worth it, right?

I have a soft spot for a good delicious scone. I just can’t help it. They are supposed to be light, fluffy and they crumble in the most delightful way possible. When I’m at a coffee shop, I will always scour the scone selection and I get so excited when I peruse their flavours. It is unfortunate that not every place can make a good scone though. So many times, cafe’s seem to overbake, over knead or over… something. This is probably why I have been so hesitant to make scones for so long.

And to change the subject completely for a moment, what’s the difference between scones and biscuits?

I had this ugly bunch of bananas that were nearing the end of its life span and needed to be used up quickly. I should probably mention that I am weird; I am a weirdo. I prefer under ripe bananas. Feel free to call me crazy, but as soon as the first brown dot develops, I prefer not to ingest them in their current form.

The kneadless bread is so alluring. It takes such little effort and beautiful artisan bread comes out! The only thing this dough requires of you is time and patience. Heck, if you like to sleep, you can do the time, patience and sleep all at the same time! You could do almost anything in the meantime. We decided to go on a nice hike up a mountain. I would show you photos, but I was trying to avoid being mosquito dinner.
